In some of our operations around the world, employees are unionized, in others, they are not. We have always respected the right of employees to fully exercise their rights with company managers. In mines that are not unionized, we have also set up a number of ways for workers’ fears to be heard and dealt with by the system, so that a resolution is reached.
In Canada, employees at some mines are unionized and at others, they are not. In Mexico, two of our mines are unionized. We are even working with the union in a very positive way by providing training for its leaders. The goal is for them to acquire the skills they need to negotiate directly with us.
